THE ART of DREAMING by Carlos Castaneda
THE ART OF DREAMING By Carlos Castaneda [Version 1.1 - Originally scanned, proofed and released by BELTWAY ] [If you correct any errors, please increment the version number and re-release.] AUTHOR'S NOTE: Over the past twenty years, I have written a series of books about my apprenticeship with a Mexican Yaqui Indian sorcerer, don Juan Matus. I have explained in those books that he taught me sorcery but not as we understand sorcery in the context of our daily world: the use of supernatural powers over others, or the calling of spirits through charms, spells, or rituals to produce supernatural effects. For don Juan, sorcery was the act of embodying some specialized theoretical and practical premises about the nature and role of perception in molding the universe around us. Following don Juan's suggestion, I have refrained from using shamanism, a category proper to anthropology, to classify his knowledge. I have called it all along what he himself called it: sorcery. On examination, however, I realized that calling it sorcery obscures even more the already obscure phenomena he presented to me in his teachings. In anthropological works, shamanism is described as a belief system of some native people of northern Asia-prevailing also among certain native North American Indian tribes-which maintains that an unseen world of ancestral spiritual forces, good and evil, is pervasive around us and that these spiritual forces can be summoned or controlled through the acts of practitioners, who are the intermediaries between the natural and supernatural realms. Don Juan was indeed an intermediary between the natural world of everyday life and an unseen world, which he called not the supernatural but the second attention. -

Carlos Castaneda – a Separate Reality
“A Separate Reality: Further Conversations with don Juan” - ©1971 by Carlos Castaneda Contents • Introduction • Part One: The Preliminaries of 'Seeing' o Chapter 1. o Chapter 2. o Chapter 3. o Chapter 4. o Chapter 5. o Chapter 6. o Chapter 7. • Part Two: The Task of 'Seeing' o Chapter 8. o Chapter 9. o Chapter 10. o Chapter 11. o Chapter 12. o Chapter 13. o Chapter 14. o Chapter 15. o Chapter 16. o Chapter 17. • Epilogue Introduction Ten years ago I had the fortune of meeting a Yaqui Indian from northwestern Mexico. I call him "don Juan." In Spanish, don is an appellative used to denote respect. I made don Juan's acquaintance under the most fortuitous circumstances. I had been sitting with Bill, a friend of mine, in a bus depot in a border town in Arizona. We were very quiet. In the late afternoon, the summer heat seemed unbearable. Suddenly he leaned over and tapped me on the shoulder. "There's the man I told you about," he said in a low voice. He nodded casually toward the entrance. An old man had just walked in. "What did you tell me about him?" I asked. "He's the Indian that knows about peyote. Remember?" I remembered that Bill and I had once driven all day looking for the house of an "eccentric" Mexican Indian who lived in the area. We did not find the man's house and I had the feeling that the Indians whom we had asked for directions had deliberately misled us. Bill had told me that the man was a "yerbero," a person who gathers and sells medicinal herbs, and that he knew a great deal about the hallucinogenic cactus, peyote. -

Brussels PRINTED FOR MELINE, CANS A.ND C"., EOILEVARD DE WATERLOO, Zi. M DCCC XXXIX. MR V. un:ve PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. To assist in the detection of spurious and the correction of inaccu- rate pedigrees, is one of the purposes of the present publication, in which respect the first Volume has been of acknowledged utility. The two together, it is hoped, will form a comprehensive and tole- rably correct Register of Pedigrees. It will be observed that some of the Mares which appeared in the last Supplement (whereof this is a republication and continua- tion) stand as they did there, i. e. without any additions to their produce since 1813 or 1814. — It has been ascertained that several of them were about that time sold by public auction, and as all attempts to trace them have failed, the probability is that they have either been converted to some other use, or been sent abroad. If any proof were wanting of the superiority of the English breed of horses over that of every other country, it might be found in the avidity with which they are sought by Foreigners. The exportation of them to Russia, France, Germany, etc. for the last five years has been so considerable, as to render it an object of some importance in a commercial point of view. -
The New Age Embraces Shamanism
CHRISTIAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE P.O. Box 8500, Charlotte, NC 28271 Article: DS836 THE NEW AGE EMBRACES SHAMANISM This article first appeared in the Christian Research Journal, volume 25, number 4 (2003) as a companion to the feature article Shamanism: Eden or Evil? by Mark Andrew Ritchie. For further information or to subscribe to the Christian Research Journal go to: http://www.equip.org A few decades ago, “shamanism” was a word known mainly by anthropologists. As the New Age movement grew in the West, however, many others were introduced to and embraced spiritual practices drawn from several primitive cultures such as Native American, various Latin American, Hawaiian, Eskimo, and other indigenous groups. These practices, which emphasized trance and ecstatic states, spirit contact, animal spirits, out-of-body experiences, and nontraditional healing1 were harmonious with the budding New Age beliefs that emphasized the earth, transcendence through drugs, and multileveled realities. Neoshamanism thus was born. Two of the most influential people in the rise of neoshamanism were Carlos Castaneda and Lynn Andrews, who claimed to have been initiated into shamanism by native teachers. Castaneda claimed to have been a student of Yaqui Indian Don Juan Matus, while Lynn Andrews claimed to have studied under women teachers such as Agnes Whistling Elk and Ruby Plenty Chiefs. Castaneda’s many books on shamanism, including his influential and controversial The Teachings of Don Juan published in 1968, as well as Andrews’s many books since 1981, have sold quite well. Castaneda, an anthropology student in 1960 who set out to research the medicinal properties of plants, enlisted the help of shaman-sorcerer Don Juan.2 Thus began Castaneda’s journey into the world of sorcery, where dreams and visions became the prime reality — a spiritual trip that included hallucinogens, which was one of the touchstones of “spiritual awakening” in the 1960s and 1970s. -

Carlos Castaneda (1925-1998), Reading Between His Lines, a Summary Judgment
Carlos Castaneda (1925-1998), reading between his lines, a summary judgment. By Prof. Jay Courtney Fikes In 1968, with publication of his first book, The Teachings of Don Juan, Carlos Castaneda gained instant fame. The book, he proclaimed, described accurately his apprenticeship to a Yaqui sorcerer. By the time he obtained his doctorate in anthropology in 1973, after publishing his third book, he was the world’s most prominent anthropologist. His twelve books, now available in seventeen languages, have sold more than ten million copies. When he died in 1998 he had become “the 20th century’s most successful literary trickster” (Marshall, 2007). Climbing to celebrity status Carlos Arana Castaneda was born to unmarried parents in Cajamarca, Peru, on December 25, 1925. He entered the USA via San Francisco in 1951 but moved to Los Angeles in 1955. Castaneda worked part-time while taking creative writing and psychology courses at Los Angeles City College, where he graduated with an Associate of Arts degree in psychology in 1959 (“Prelude to Don Juan,” 2013). By fall of 1959 he had entered the anthropology department at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Castaneda’s third book, Journey to Ixtlan, was approved as his UCLA doctoral dissertation in anthropology in 1973, after he changed its title and added a 500-word dissertation abstract (DeMille, 1978; Fikes, 1993). From 1968 to 1976 Castaneda was America’s most celebrated anthropologist. His reputation as an anthropologist was steadily eroded as scholarly critiques exposed fraudulent elements in his alleged ethnographic research (DeMille, 1978; 1980). Despite Richard DeMille’s insight, confirmed by this author (Fikes, 1993), that Castaneda’s alleged apprenticeship to a Yaqui sorcerer, Don Juan Matus, was a “transparent fraud,” an international New Age audience still reveres him. -
